The standard tension of the lower thread is 0.15 ~ 0.3N.

This tension may vary depending on the used thread. In general, press the bobbin case to a smooth vertical surface and hang the designated number of coins. Turn the thread tension screw so that the lower thread will come out smoothly.

Check that the bobbin is pushed out of the bobbin case by about 0.5 mm. If not, the slip prevention spring of the bobbin case does not work. Adjust the spring in height or replace it with a new one. (Refer to “Replacing Bobbin” on page 2-19.)
